I bought the DFRobotShop Rover and now I’m programming it, the code on the dfrobotshop rover in the manual doesn’t work on mac, but it works on windows. I tried it on my friends computer… Is there a code for mac??

Thanks

works fine for me, you need to use screen from the terminal in order to control the rover; you can open a terminal session and then issue the command “ls /dev/tty*” and you’ll note a [FONT=Courier New]/dev/tty.usbmodem1d21[/FONT] the issue the command [FONT=Courier New]screen /dev/tty.usbmodem1d21 115200[/FONT] then so long as the code is running on the rover and the usb cable is hooked up … you’ll be able control the rover

You need the MAC version of the Arduino software. You also need to follow the instructions as to how to set up Arduino on a MAC.

Are you getting a specific error? I was able to get it to work first crack with no problems on my Mac.
